AMD confirmed some details for its next-generation RDNA 3 and RDNA 4 GPU architectures during its recent Financial Analyst Day 2022, where Radeon Technologies Group Senior Vice President David Wang presented the roadmap for GPUs Next generation RDNA and CDNA.

In the update, AMD confirmed that its next-generation GPU architecture after the release of RDNA 3 later this year, is RDNA 4 expected in 2024. On the slide, we can see that AMD shows us that RDNA was made at 7nm, RDNA 2. was also made at 7nm, next-generation RDN3 is made at 5nm, and next-generation RDN4 is made in an “Advanced Node.”
This is not new for anyone who keeps up with GPU rumors, where I reported rumors about RDNA 4 using 3 nm and 5 nm nodes for RDM 4 MCM GPUs (multiship module or chiplet design as AMD has just confirmed for its RDNA GPUs 3). ). In August 2020, it reported leaks that RDNA 4 is a “complete product line with a common architecture and RDNA 4 MCM will use 3nm + 5nm.” It looks like RDNA 3 will be done at 5 nm and RDNA 4 will be done at 3 nm + 5 nm (with 3 nm GPU chips + 5 nm I / O tile).
In very recent news, AMD has confirmed that RDNA 3 will have a 50% increase in performance per watt compared to RDNA 2. AMD says the 50% increase in performance per watt is achieved by switching to the new process node of 5 nm by TSMC, advanced chiplet packaging, redesigned computing unit, optimized graphics channeling and next-generation AMD Infinity Cache technology.
This means that we can expect a significant leap in performance from the new Radeon RX 7000 series cards, which will not require 1200 W + power supplies and 4 x 8-pin power connectors.
It’s been a long time since I extensively covered AMD’s next-generation RDNA 3 GPU in August 2020, almost two years ago.
But slowly, over the past two years, every little step has been taken to get here, including TSMC getting its new 5 nm process node pumped, ready for RDNA 3. Exciting time for on GPUs in the coming months, and I really can. don’t wait
